Thanks for your answers! :)

So this means that e.g. the cellos with 30% dry/wet in the Synchron Player are actually only 24% for example? This is the same behaviour with MIRx in VI Pro, isn't it? The standard value of 63 ("new zero") represents an individual value in the background.

Oh my ... I though it would be much easier to mimic the Synchron settings. I thought all instruments are set to 30% dry/wet ratio, and I'm fine with it.

As I don't think there will be a Synchron MIRx release, it's really frustrating to make all these settings on my own. Can the Teldex MIRx settings be a good starting point, because it's also a scoring stage? Or are the dry/wet ratios really that different with each room (more or less)?

Quite contrary - I work on it as we speak. Just don't expect an release too soon, please; there's still an awful lot to be done.

Okay, sounds very (!) good, but I've heard this before several times from different people. I don't know what to believe. We've been talking about this for years. 😞

I don't want a release date, but if this is actually an official statement saying that there will be a Synchron MIRx... this is awesome. I only wished this statement were made by VSL earlier, instead of neglecting all the other threads here in the forum don't saying anything about it.

But is there a coarse shedule? I mean can we expect a release this year? Because then I don't have to make all the effort on my own.

Thanks, Dietz!

I never "neglected" any message I was aware of regarding that topic, but of course it might have happened that I missed one or the other. It has always been _me_ who said that there was a hiatus in MIRx-SSV development after I realized a well-hidden, but severe technical issue in the in-house tools used for their creation (... rendering all my almost finished work of many weeks*) more or less useless). It's also _me_ who says that MIRx SSV will become reality, and it's very likely that this will happen this year (i.e. 2020). 

If there would be an offcial statement you would get it through the official marketing channels of VSL, not by means of an individual reply to your quite specific set of questions in a sub-panel of a user-forum, though.

[i]*) A personal sidenote: Believe it or not, there's no devilish plan to make VSL customers suffer, but just an audio guy (like me) who can't stand to listen for the same minute-long test sequence for months several times a year - which is a must to make 400+ instruments fit together as good as possible. Thanks for your understanding.[/i]

Kind regards,

I was not talking about you primarily. And it shouldn't sound in any way impolite or anything like this. I asked several people and got different answers which always sounded like a consolation for a postponement which will never happen. Thanks for clarifying that there is "no devilish plan" involved. :)

But to be honest: It's only very odd that these technical issues are already several years back (I can't remeber the exact year). In the meantime the SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions have been released. I'm wondering how can this be? Aren't these the MIRx settings? Probably I don't know much about these things...

I'm very looking forward to the release.

The technical issues have been solved by now, but my main business is producing and mixing music. It's not as easy as it seems to find six to eight consecutive weeks in my time-table without other obligations. Thing is: I simply can't create MIRx settings piecemeal as I lose context even after a break of only three or four days. The results would be less coherent (... I tried it).

Kind regards,

Synchronized VIs rely on a similar approach, that's true, but there are several differences to MIRx:

- there are real recordings I can use at least as a reference (thus it's much easier to keep things in relation)

- the orchestral seating is very different 

- I didn't have to complete the whole bunch of 400+ instruments at once

- I have more degrees of freedom as I can use different RoomEQs for similar groups of instruments (other than MIRx, where all 1st violins rely on the same RoomEQ setting, for example)

- there are other VSL engineers with good ears who do the finishing, so any peculiarities based on my personal taste will get  straightened out to a certain extent.

Totally forgot this thread. Thanks for all your answers!

But why are the MIRx settings going to be different? Wouldn't it be nice to have the same settings? And I hope we get the second violins on the left. :)

The second thing I totally forgot about is that the instrument icons in MIR Pro actually show you the dry/wet ratio. I have the screenshot of the wide orientation, but it's tricky to see with all the instruments overlapping.

Is it possible to get screenshots of the wide orientation for each section (strings, woodwinds, brass etc.)? And maybe for the dimension products, because these were missing on the screenshot?

This would be really helpful. Thanks!

As it's the case with all other MIRx-ed Venues already I'll supply these screenshots as soon as VSL releases the product. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks Dietz!

I was talking about screenshots for the SYNCHRON-ized version. I already have your "template" with a screenshot of all instruments in the wide orientation, but it would be nice to have the sections separately. There are already screenshots in the thread, but only for the narrow orientation.

The MIRx-manual for Synchron Stage will contain separate screenshots for instrument families. - The differences between those settings and the ones I did for the Synchronized VIs won't be ear-shattering. ;-)
